Um, er no. In last Saturday's episode, The White Star shut down its'
jump engines and transferred the power to it's BREW - actually a
BYEW, but anyway. An option might be to boost the power of the beam
but at a cost of no high power moves for a while (i.e. only minimal
speed and turn).

No evidence of this in the series, but I suppose it's logical from 
the design..

something you ran away from. These days, I wouldn't use one to light 
a camp fire..
